haha, thanks guys. yeah, trust me, i've literally changed my mind 3 times today alone! not to mention the last week or month. BUT, as of now, i think i'm just going to build it as a stocker, and then upgrade things as i go along, adn as money comes in, to make it more long-term drivable (and stoppable). i do have TONS of questions, so look out! i'm going to pick your brains smile
